The Knotted Project have been working with young people aged 15-22 over lockdown to create a 45min film exploring how their lives have been impacted by Covid-19.

The pandemic, through the eyes of young people. Created by Forge The Future Performance Company and The Knotted Project

The film, Forge The Future, creatively explores how the lives of young people have been impacted by Covid-19. It was self filmed by young people in lockdown, mostly on their mobile phones, with extraordinary ambition and imagination. The young people wanted everyone to see it and understand the struggles of a year in lockdown, through the eyes of a young person. It looks deeply into mental health in young people and the role that creativity plays in their lives.

Recommended viewing age 15+, film includes some scenes that may be upsetting. Funded by Arts Council England and produced by The Knotted Project.
